The most popular products for cannabis consumption

Marijuana has been used for medicinal purposes since ancient times. Nowadays, people use marijuana in different ways than they did years ago- smoking is no longer the only way to consume. Marijuana can be consumed orally through edibles or vaporized using a vaporizer, and it can also be taken sublingually (under the tongue). What was once smoked exclusively is now eaten or vaped. The shift in consumption methods reflects how cannabis science evolves, as well as changes in societal norms about what’s appropriate behavior around pot.

If you are new to marijuana, or you are looking to invest in the industry, or if you are just trying to understand the culture, you should probably start by understanding which consumption methods are the most popular. So, here are a few of the most popular products for cannabis consumption.

Bongs

Bongs are probably one of the most well-known methods of marijuana consumption in the world and are considered to be iconic. This makes sense since the earliest recorded use of bongs was over 2,000 years ago. One of the reasons this method is so popular is because it is so simple to use. The bong just needs to be filled with water, then marijuana needs to be ground and placed in the bowl before being lit. Bongs also come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and there are even mini bong-like devices called bubblers which can be found almost anywhere online at sites like Daily High Club. Due to the newer consumption methods becoming popular, many are now buying handmade bongs that are works of art.

Pipes

Another extremely popular marijuana consumption method, that is also iconic, are pipes. If you have seen a tobacco pipe, then that is basically what a marijuana pipe is. As mentioned above, because there are many other marijuana consumption methods, such as dab rigs and dry herb vaporizers, those who use pipes are also interested in their design. Pipes now come in a variety of different shapes, sizes, colors, and designs. Some are handmade, some are made from expensive glass, some have intricate designs, and some look incredibly classy. Because pipes are so easy to use and are small enough to be carried in anything, even a pocket, they remain one of the most popular ways to consume marijuana.

Vaporizers

The next consumption method on this list is the dry herb vaporizer, which is another device that has been around for a while, but certainly not as long as the bong has. Dry herb vaporizers also come in a variety of shapes and sizes and vary based on the design. For example, you can get desktop vaporizers which are rather large and are great to use for sharing since their chamber is very big. You also get vape pens such as DynaVap which are rather small, easy to carry around, and have small chambers for which you can use a dry herb or concentrate. Dry herb vaporizers offer convenience, as well as being a healthier alternative to combustion-related methods.

Dab Rigs

Dab rigs have become more and more popular over the last few years as people continue to find new ways to consume marijuana. They almost look like bongs, and also come in a variety of shapes and sizes, with a range of different devices being available. Dab rigs don’t use dry herb, instead, they use concentrate or shatter. This means that they allow users to consume large amounts of THC, without needing to consume a lot of physical marijuana, which has helped them to become popular. They are also popular because they are easy to use, and you can even get mini rigs, which are very small and easy to carry around but offer the same utility as their larger counterparts.

Edibles

Edibles have been a staple of marijuana consumption throughout the years and saw a lot of popularity during the 1960’s. This consumption method is called edibles since they are food products that are infused with marijuana. Before legalization in 2012, consumers didn’t have a wide variety of edibles to choose from and were mainly left with the choice of gummies, brownies, and lollipops. However, since legalization, edibles have become very popular again since now consumers can buy cakes, drinks, pastries and more, that are infused with marijuana. This method is also very popular because of the duration of the effects, which typically last around 6-8 hours.
